From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Julia Pardoe (December 4, 1806 - November 26, 1862), was an English novelist and historian.
She was born at Beverley, Yorkshire, and showed an early interest in literature. She became a prolific and versatile writer, producing in addition to her lively and well-written novels many books on travel, and others dealing with historical subjects. She was a keen observer, and her Oriental travels had given her an accurate and deep knowledge of the peoples and manners of the East.
